The "IS" is part of the full name for the A1000IS and A590IS, but sometimes people just leave it out. There are not IS and non-IS versions of the A1000[IS] and A590[IS]. Canon's including it into the formal names is useful to distinguish them from some models that lack[ed] IS. For example the earlier A540 lacked IS. The current economy model, the A480, lacks IS.

As far as I know it is same sensor and same AF as in a5100. If you are renting why not A7s. It was build for low light stills and videos.

I am considering CX150 or CX110. Is there any difference between those two except 16GB internal memory in CX150? I have been researching camcorder for more than week and can't decide. Now boils down to one of these two - no reasons...just due to Sony brand. I know there better rated panasonic and canon out there in the similar price range...any comments???

I just contacted Canon Tech Support. The Canon XA10 has shipped to Dealers!!!!! I just noticed Norman Camera's in Michigan has posted it as "in stock". However, I plan to purchase from One Call or Amazon.

Who knows, I also see a lot of complaints about the newer Powershots. Maybe Canon is cramming too many megapixels in their newer cameras. My cousin owns the SD940is and loves it. I own the SD1100is and I can't complain about the pictures it takes. I would take some of those negative complaints with a grain of salt though. I think as long as you don't expect DSLR quality prints out of a Powershot then you'll be fine. I can't imagine giving a Powershot a 1 star review, maybe if it was dead on arrival or the battery exploded inside the camera. Maybe Canon is resting on its laurels a bit. Do some research before you buy a camera to avoid disappointment.

You know, I think that this is my only gripe w/ordering online-I can never determine whether or not newer accessories are compatible with well lobed, well used products. I have been trying to buy memory cards (and a reader, should one be compatible?)for my beloved Canon Power shot A95. This camera took awesome photos-80+feet underwater in Cozumel. I don't want to buy another camera- just because I don't know what is compatible.

Not AP130a, it's the AG AC130a. It does have the upgraded autofocus and does a decent job. The camera is awsome.

I have been wondering the same thing & still can't decide. I was wondering if you have decided yet & if so which way you went? I have a Pentax Optio A10 right now & I love everything about it except the shutter speed so I have been looking for a new one & can't decide between the Sony DSCW80 & the Canon SD1000.

The camera model "A100K" is a Kit including both the A100 body and the stock Sony 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6DT lens. You've found a misprint.

This might be too late, but ... I love the A1300. It has a nice quick response and it is small enough to put in a pocket and take backpacking (nice and light). Great zoom and movie feature and the best part is that it still has a view finder so I don't have to use reading glasses when I am taking photos. This is my second camera - I destroyed the last one when I dropped it 10 feet (ALWAYS use the wrist-strap!) OK, so it isn't so great on impact, but everything else is A++++++.

The Canon XH-A1s is a great camera with great audio capabilities. I has the XLRinputs that you need...the only issue I have had is it records to tape...I added a DTE recorder to my kit and now record to CF cards with no loss of quality. Another great camera is the Canon XA10. It allows you to record to a built in hard drive and has two additional slots to record to CF cards and has XLR inputs as well.

Size is a big difference for me. The A710IS is a bit larger. Also, the top ISO for the A710IS is only 800. Also, I believe the A570IS has video capability while the A710IS does not.I was debating between the A570IS, A710IS, and SD750, and finally settled on buying the A570IS because of it's size, performance, relative ease of use, cost, and batteries.

I bought both of these camera's the G7 for myself and the A710 for my father. On paper they are almost the same camera however out of the box there is a big difference. The A710 is a great high-end point and shoot camera, it takes normal AA batteries which can simplify the daily use of the camera i.e. on holiday no need to worry if you packed the charger or not, etc. The G7 has a better image quality. Also there are some mega high level configuration settings for the photographer enthusiast, 1st person and 2nd person flash etc. The A710 is lighter and more portable while the G7 is quite a bit larger and has a significant weight to it. Hope this helps. I bought both of these camera's the G7 for myself and the A710 for my father. On paper they are almost the same camera however out of the box there is a big difference.

Thank you, Ellen. Your information is helpful. I'm probably going to go for the Canon 810 instead of the 600. With your and MLipenk's feedback, I believe I can now move forward on this with confidence.

I don't own the Sony, so I can't speak to the A6000. I absolutely love the E-M10 for a few reasons: 1. The lens is the most important part of the camera kit. The Micro 43 standard also includes Panasonic, so I have two camera companies developing compatible lens. I often switch between makes (along with Sigma) depending on the situation. 2. The M10 sensor isn't as large as the full frame a6000, but that has not kept kept me from getting superb sharpness, particularly with the Oly 75mm. The smaller sensor also generally allows for a smaller camera and lens than the a full frame equivalent, something I'd think is important to a travel journalist (check out the GM1!). I moved from a Nikon APS-C SLR and there might have been a time when I'd have played it safe and gone full frame, but we're a few generations along on M43 sensors now and I'm very glad I settled on M43. 3. The Micro 43 allows for inexpensive backup bodies like the E-PM2 or E-PL5 (both use the same battery and charger which is HUGE). Both use an almost identical sensor to the M10, just with fewer manual controls. 4. The dual wheel controls of the M10 are fantastic when shooting manually. 5. Both cameras have focus peaking which allows you to use inexpensive (and durable) old manual focus lens. If that interests you, it's probably worth comparing both FP systems. 6. Panasonic is the leader in video, but the one time I shot video with the M10, the 3 axis stabilization did an amazing job of steadying the shot. I swear it's witchcraft of some sort. Truth is you'll get superb results with either camera. I'd take a hard look at the lens catalog for both cameras and see if that tips you one way or the other.

Actually kit lens are identical in both cameras. The main difference is that A300 has a live view and A200 doesn't. Live view is an ability to make pictures using the screen - same as in P&S; cameras. In A200 you can make pictures by using view finder only. You can only review your pictures on the screen, but you can not use the screen to shoot pictures in A200. Other then that both cameras are identical.

So glad I found this post as I'm in the same boat and just printed out the specs on both cameras. I'm curious as to which camera you ended up getting and how you like it? My original intent was to upgrade from my Canon Powershot due to a long lag time in between being able to shoot the next picture now that my kids are in sports, but I would still like clear nice pictures. What did you get and how do you like it?
